My husband left me 20 years ago for another woman. He left me alone with our 3 year old son. I raised him alone and he turned out a true gentleman. I met my highschool sweetheart in the summer of 2019, random meeting in a Coffee shop. We got married during the summer of 2020 in the middle of the pandemic. To all of you out there...what ever you are going through..DON'T EVER GIVE UP HOPE❤️❤️

Where have I been for the last 5 years that I missed this until now? This performance is a masterpiece. It’s a profoundly moving blend of exquisite orchestration, utterly brilliant playing and a breathtaking emotional delivery by an exceptional and gorgeous voice that’s both delicate and majestic. It’s a classic that becomes classical, timeless and eternal. There are so many covers of this song, but this is not another cover, it’s a rediscovery, a reimagining, a rebirth. This is the winner that takes it all.

Being 62 years old and from Sweden, I remember when ABBA released ”The Winner Takes It All” on 21 July 1980. At that time I studied the organ at the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm. Since then I really like the song, and I even made an arrangement for pipe organ. :D Finding your recording by pure serendipity, I was SO moved. The arrangement, the ”tone”, your interpretation, your voice, was a veritable emotional tsunami. For the first time I realized what the text really is about. For a Swede ABBA normally is the first choice, because so many covers have made minced meat of the song. This is the first rendition I have heard that surpasses the original. Thanks a lot - and take care, it’s a dangerous world out there!

Its hard to understand, that time of waiting of new future love is very long and full of sweet dreams, cos its must happen. Love is too much simple thing in our life, but too much hard to live without . I sure, every music: simple song or arioso from opera put to our hearts many perfect minutes, when we can understand, that we are can love and live among beautiful, great art , architecture, painting s, sculptures...

[@samanthajames-cooper5529]

The important thing is you did find it!! I'm guessing the orchestra enjoyed this too - not the usual stuff they have to do. More specifically not the same production of the original song, yet somehow just as stunning. Often when we 'know' the original we dislike the cover - certainly not in this case. Something you may like too..... You may have seen some of Dimash's stuff, which is really good - but slightly different is his Ikanaide performance for the Japanese Jazz festival. Another take on an original - which is also worth looking up! Another perfect example would be Disturbed version of The Sound of Silence - if you see the live version on the Conan show - poor guy had a cold and you would never know!

A simply gorgeous performance by every artist there. I had no idea what to expect when I clicked on this video. Extremely glad I did. It was very moving.

Haha love it thank you 🙏🙏

[@janinas.5965]

I think if I heard this live with your beautiful voice and that orchestra I would just die...but I would die happy. I wonder if any members of Abba have commented on this stunning version of their song.❤❤❤❤

[@JoeyNiceforo]

Ahhhh thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@agustindebuque7394]

[@janardhanawijaya2279]

Indeed ... Also listen to Juan Pablo Di another way to presents this song.. More like story telling... *edited Juan Pablo Di Pace

[@brendanwienand9836]

Not sure why the artist is thanking you for your foul mouth! Distasteful.

[@paulah.4151]

Why did this appeared on my recommendations? My ears aren't worthy to hear something so beautiful. Man, round of applause to you and the orchestra. I wish I had seen this before.

[@JoeyNiceforo]

Ahhh thank you Paula for your kind words 🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@bramblyhedgegirl]

Your control, your diction, your phrasing, your emotion, your musicality, your talent. Such genius, a stunning performance. The orchestra is superb as well. Thank you for sharing your gift.

[@JoeyNiceforo]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@jmanwarren]

I completely agree. Masterful. Joey's voice control is amazing. Going now to search for more by him.

[@JoeyNiceforo]

@@jmanwarren thank you so much Julie! 🙏

Thank you 🙏

[@grantmcalpine7101]

Absolutely beautiful. Have listened to this more times than I can remember. Best rendition ever.

[@JoeyNiceforo]

Thank you so much Grant!

[@grantmcalpine7101]

@@JoeyNiceforo This rendition of this song came just in time, given what just happened in my life. My thanks extend back to you for your exceptional talent and I know a performance like this doesn't just happen. You might never know the profoundly positive impact of this performance. My neighbours have to listen to it quite regularly 😁

[@JoeyNiceforo]

Ah well I’m sorry to hear that you’ve gone through that Grant :-( but I’m glad the song has had a positive impact for you. 🙏❤️

[@norbertoiusem2304]

Joey, in addition to this superb rendition, you took the time to answer each one of the comments. That makes you a human being worthy of love, gratitude and respect. This attitude of yours is rare and so needed in this world of violence and greed.

[@JoeyNiceforo]

Norberto Iusem thank you my friend! You’re the first person to point out that I respond to everyone (even ones who don’t like the video or my singing lol) I appreciate your words and it sounds like you’re a great person with a big heart!!! Bless you my friend 🙏🙏

[@YvonneBurggraaf-555]

This is worlds most incredible version of the Winner takes it all. I'm flabbergasted.

[@JoeyNiceforo]

Ah thank you Yvonne ❤❤

[@PaulGregoryEstabillo]

I'm an orphan struggling to survive each passing day. I am not letting go of Hope. Thank you so much, Sir, for this great talent. You moved me to tears. And if one day I go to heaven, I'll whisper your name to Jesus and tell Him how you made me smile. ✨🙂

[@brianlowes7325]

This song - this classic song has changed how we all think about older songs and what can be done with them. Joey has made a new classic of an old song in a manner that is nothing short of perfection. At Abby Road - wow what more can we get with adding an 80 piece orchestra. I must buy the CD of this. This song now also has new meaning in the manner it was arranged - perfection. Thank you all.

[@JoeyNiceforo]

Thank you so much Brian I appreciate that!! 🙏🙏

[@fauzianalwoga]

My now late mum loved Abba. I guess because she was born in 79😢. I love you so much mummy

[@JoeyNiceforo]

So sorry about your mom 😢
